Created by Cary Fukunaga

Emma Stone is sick and jaded. Jonah Hill thinks he doesn’t matter. Both agree to participate in a dangerous drug trial – led by Dr Justin Theroux, who says enigmatic things like “the mind can be solved”. Fukunaga’s new psy-drama begins with a bunch of broken humans hooked up to helmets in day beds (hello, Matrix) and proceeds to take them (and us) deep down a rabbit hole of “multi-reality brain magic shit”. Brush up on your Morpheus quotes. Netflix

Created by April Blair

This high school sports drama, inspired by NFL player Spencer Paysinger, follows football prodigy Spencer James (Daniel Ezra) as he switches up from life in Compton to one in Beverly Hills to kick off his career. But living with the coach’s son (competitive AF) and crushing on a girl sworn to another teammate (jealous AF) has him playing defense for a while. Colors Infinity

3. The Good Cop

Created by Andy Breckman

Tony Danza is a disgraced (but well-liked) NYPD ex-cop in jail. His son (Josh Groban), also a brilliant detective, is obsessive about clean practice. Things get messy when dad gets out on parole and decides to teach Junior a few things about handling suspects, and women. A comedy for those who like good old crime-solving – and medicine for those harbouring daddy issues. Netflix

4. Manifest

Created by Jeff Rake

An airplane full of people that went missing for five years is rediscovered. Everyone is relieved – except those on the plane, for whom (wouldn’t you believe it?) time stopped. Manifest follows the personal lives of a bunch of them (starring American TV leads like Josh Dallas, JR Ramirez and Luna Blaise Boyd), who must also collectively solve the larger mystery of their disappearance. This is Lost in reverse; and that does not mean “found”.
